Red Herring sleepover

Music,

What's up, had two restful days off. Worked on my community college marine assignment at a bar on the street at a table while a band played last night. Also played too much Diner Dash, cut a little grass.



Caught up with the eldest two kids and hit KFC, avoiding they momma. Also leaving the youngest with they momma and avoiding her too.


We drove to Avalon and I had work at two of three in a row houses I have been servicing. All three households responding to my letterbox fliers. The German lady is pretty cool. She was born in 1940 and still remembers her father who died defending Germany in 1945 when she was five years old. I don't know more about the guy than what she told me but anyway she seemed annoyed I was late. I would have thought she could just have gone out and let me work.


Prior to that I finished the French lady two houses over, her $250 AUD job, just like half an hour or so of whipper snipping plus two hours with the German lady. She's a real softy so she mellowed right out. I knew she would, she seems like such a sweet lady. My kids rolled up while I was starting out at her place and her next door neighbour at the same time. I didn't have much scheduled with this neighbour but we're becoming friendly so she agreed to let my kids swim in her pool with her son. This kept them happy a couple of hours. Being summer still warm or summer just ending, they had a great time. I collected up all my money and went over to the middle customer's house. We chatted for a while on her kitchen. She wants me to fix the cinderblock bricks around her horse's pen. I can cement that. It's not in her backyard though, different location. I drive through there a lot so I'll take a look. Looks like she'll come sailing with her son with my kids one of these days.


We went to Avalon Woolworths, the kids and I, got some food like sushi, zumo de naranja. Ate at the nice new tables. Hit the sailing club.


The Shakespearean players that performed much ado about nothing last time now played Othello. They're still at it but we made our way to our mooring around intermission time as it was just after nine pm and the kids were getting tired. Sailing lesson is on tomorrow morning then have to race off for soccer registration. No time to play around. 


They did pretty well. They're starting to look familiar. I said hi to the director Paul when we arrived, not realising he was the director. He says he's an actor too. The sailing club feels like a second home. I often will turn up when it's empty and grab a shower like in the mornings after coming off Red Herring. I find it difficult to be in my own house because the kids' momma is loud and troublesome. I tried calling the U.S. military helpline for stressed out vets to complain the guy asked me if I had done anything to harm myself (that day), I said only talk to my wife. He laughed. I wasn't kidding though, I think he understood but had to laugh.


I don't reckon Othello would be jealous of his wife if he was always just severely annoyed with her. Best to avoid.
